In the end, she stepped forward and took Huo Yuhao's hand. The familiar Hao-Dong Power flowed through his palm, and only then did he belatedly realize that his roommate of two years was actually a girl.

It's really funny, actually. After sharing a bed with his roommate for over two years, seeing each other every day, he couldn't recognize him after he changed his clothes or let his hair down. Huo Yuhao's obliviousness is truly unique.

It's unclear whether Wang Dong'er's cross-dressing was too successful, or if Huo Yuhao was just too thick-skinned.

It's fortunate that Wang Dong'er was patient; otherwise, she probably would have punched him on the spot.

This scene is arguably their most classic and hilarious moment, always bringing laughter to those who hear it, and it's one of the few lighthearted moments in the entire book.

Since we've already gotten to the topic of embarrassing pasts, let's just bring up the awkward moments of the other main characters one by one.

Speaking of these so-called "dark histories," apart from a few truly disgusting and shameful things that are not worthy of being discussed in public, most of the rest are just blunders and embarrassing incidents from the path of growing up. They can be used as a source of amusement and are not considered real black marks.

It's just that when the person involved looks back, they'll be so embarrassed they'll dig their toes out of the Shrek Academy; the level of social embarrassment will be off the charts.

The first one I have to mention is Ning Tian, the young master of the Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect. It's no exaggeration to say that she has the highest density of dark history among this group.

Her journey has been a precipitous one, a fall from a haughty young master of a powerful sect to a forced gender reassignment. The pitfalls she encountered along the way were increasingly outrageous; no one would believe that a direct descendant of Upper Three Sects could experience such a fate.

Shrek City, Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect Branch.

Ning Tian was somewhat surprised to hear that she was involved in this "dark history." What "dark history" did she have? As things stood, she didn't seem to have any, did she?

From a young age, she was considered a prodigy by her elders and peers, the young master of the prestigious Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect. What dark history could she possibly have?

However, she then remembered the contents of Lin Ye's diary. Could it be that her dark history was about Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry?

If that's the case, then it's definitely a dark history, and a really dark one at that.

She could offer some explanation for everything else, but on this point, she really couldn't defend herself.

At this moment, Wu Feng was not by Ning Tian's side, but was resting in a bedroom belonging to the Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect.

She saw that the diary in her mind had been updated. When she opened it, besides other people's embarrassing histories, she saw that the latest one was Ning Tian's embarrassing history.

She frowned; she wasn't actually very satisfied with Lin Ye's writing about Ning Tian's dark past.

Ning Tian told her not to meddle, and she naturally listened to Ning Tian. However, she also wondered what kind of dark history Ning Tian could possibly have. She had always been by Ning Tian's side; didn't she know whether he had a dark past or not?

With that in mind, she continued watching out of curiosity, wanting to see what kind of dark history Ning Tian had.

[Let's start with the most classic scene: the gruesome scene of the Freshman Assessment. This is definitely the opening scene of her dark history.]

At that time, Ning Tian had just entered the school. He was the young master of the Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect and was born with full Soul Power. His Seven-Treasure Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul made him the focus of attention among the freshmen as soon as it was revealed. He was extremely arrogant and always acted like the young master wherever he went.

She teamed up with Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er, one a strong attacker and the other a controller, plus her as a top-tier support, making it a fully-equipped team.

It was obvious that he wanted to get first place in the Freshman Assessment; his pre-competition boasts were practically blatant insults directed at Huo Yuhao.

When they actually faced off against Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao's team, the situation reversed faster than flipping through a book.

After their fierce battle, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong triggered the Hao-Dong Power. Their Soul Power merged, creating a Soul Shock.

With that one blow, Ning Tian felt as if his brain had been hit by a heavy hammer. He didn't even have a chance to react. His vision went black and he collapsed to the ground. The referee immediately sent someone to carry him to the infirmary.

Without the support and buffs, the Wu Feng and her teammate lost their composure and collapsed instantly.

The freshmen watching from below the stage were all waiting to see Ning Tian's seeded team dominate, after all, the title of the young master of the Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect was well-known, and no one thought she would lose.

The reversal happened so fast that the entire stadium was silent for a long time before someone reacted and shouted for the referee to help. The scene was incredibly awkward.

The young master of the prestigious Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect School couldn't even withstand a single move from Huo Yuhao. His embarrassing start to the school became known throughout the entire institution; this is a dark chapter in his life she'll probably never forget.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Female Dormitory.

Ju Zi let out a soft "hmm," somewhat surprised and puzzled.

"It is consistent with the logic of Soul Master battles that a top-tier support Soul Master can be instantly killed by a mental attack."

"But the young master of the Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect has such poor combat awareness; he didn't even set up the most basic mental defenses beforehand."

[The social failure of the Freshman Assessment had only been over for a few years when Ning Tian pulled another stunt at the Sea God's Fate Matchmaking Conference, further damaging the reputation of the sect's young master.]

By then, she had successfully entered the Inner Court, and her status and position had risen accordingly, making her one of the most prominent female disciples in the entire Inner Court.

Logically speaking, a blind date shouldn't be bad; the disciples willing to befriend her could stretch from the east bank of Sea God Lake to the west bank.

But she chose Huo Yuhao.

To put it bluntly, it wasn't about deep affection; it was purely a matter of family interests. They wanted to use the marriage as a pretext to bind the Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect, Shrek, and the forces behind Huo Yuhao even more tightly.

More importantly, she had always been the winner, but she kept losing to Huo Yuhao.

Whether in battle or anything else, he had lost every time, so he wanted to win against Huo Yuhao just once, even if it was just in matters of the heart, it would still be a victory.

At the time, many Inner Court disciples were waiting to see if this marriage would go through, as the Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect might even donate some resources to the academy.

Huo Yuhao refused her decisively, leaving no room for negotiation, and politely declined her on the spot in front of all the Inner Court disciples and elders.

Being rejected in front of so many people, especially with the intention of a marriage alliance, Ning Tian's expression must have been even more unpleasant than if he had eaten a bitter herb.

What was supposed to be a matchmaking event turned into a major social disaster for her, and for a long time afterward, she rarely appeared in crowded places.

Shrek City, Nine-Treasure Glazed Sect Branch.

Ning Tian's face darkened as he looked at his so-called "dark history."

Yes, besides turning into a man, it seems she also has this.

She had read in Lin Ye's diary before that at the matchmaking event, in order to win over Huo Yuhao, she chose Huo Yuhao as her matchmaking partner, but was harshly rejected by Huo Yuhao.

Unexpectedly, this incident became so famous that it became one of her most controversial moments.
